Yeah, that IS wrong. I wanted to take SF so I allow the non-regular betting public move the line down to 3', and I actually got 3 in one spot. But if you want SF, take them now because come Saturday it will start to move back up, maybe up to 4'.

Pardon my simplicity, but I always bet the night after the Championship games, cause I don't want to be affected by 2 weeks of hyperbole.

That being said, Balt + 3.5 was my pick. I believe SF's inability to pressure the QB since J. Smiths injury, and The Raven's D's ability to control the middle of the field will be the difference. A close physical game will ultimately hinge on red zone success and kicking games. The Niners will come out strong, dominating TOP and yardage, but missed opportunities will prove costly. Ravens win 27-23.

There are articles by local sportsbook directors that explain why the line was so high. In the west this is Niner country. They have the money at 60 40 and anticipate Niner money by the weekend thus getting closer to the 50 50.

i got 5.5 in vegas 10 minutes after the Balt Ne game. During the first game there was far more niner bettors than the other 3 teams. In this game there is nothing to be gleened fron the line movement on the outcome of the game. Personally I think the books will come out on the plus side BALT

Everyone is talking about SF Pistol O and how unstoppable they are. They point out that BAL lost to 2 teams with moblile QB PHI & WAS. But that was when Lewis Ngata and Suggs were out. Now the 3 are back BAL D has been outstanding. BAL will have success against SF Pistol. Lewis Ngata and Suggs will blow up the Pistol and be very disruptive. They will sit and wait and try to figure who has the ball. They will hit Kap early and often and punish him and run to the ball.

I like the Ravens in a somewhat lopsided win much like the Pats game. Kaepernick is still just a rookie with only 10 starts. While he is talented and well coached, I just can't see him beating Baltimores defense. Ravens will focus on him with schemed and tough defense. Hoping Baltimore will get up early on the 9ers like Atlanta did. Flacco will rune a very balanced offense and with time running out, Kaepernick will press and start making mistakes. Baltimore won't look back. Take the points and over.

The more I study this game the more I like BAL. They are now healthy and playing the right way. They revamped the O line for the playoffs and have been playing outstanding. Lewis Ngata and Suggs are back for the playoffs and the D have been playing outstanding. They have outstanding special teams. BAL are solid in all 3 phases offense defense and special teams. It should be a great game.
